Chapter 110
At the hotel entrance, Gu Bai was dressed in a white suit, looking gentle and elegant, attracting the attention of many guests' female companions.
Next to Gu Bai stood a middle-aged man and woman, who were Gu's father and mother who had gone abroad to work hard in their early years.
Father Gu was dressed in a suit and looked quite energetic, but Mother Gu looked pale and had many wrinkles on her face. She looked older than Father Gu. Even with heavy makeup on her face, it couldn't hide her old age.
Speaking of which, Nan Tao had a profound influence on Gu's mother.
I remember when I was a child, every time my family took me to a party outside, if Gu's mother was there, she would always compare herself with her mother, look down on her mother everywhere, and despise her mother for having no vision to marry her father, a poor boy with nothing.
Although Mother Gu was arrogant and unpleasant at that time, she still had a rosy complexion. Unexpectedly, after so many years, she seemed like a different person. Not only was the light in her eyes gone, but she also looked even older, as if she had suffered a serious illness that took away her vitality.
Nan Tao was lost in thought when she suddenly heard the sharp, jealous voice of Gu's mother.
"Oh, I was wondering who it was, but it turns out you've brought your family with you." Mother Gu couldn't help but sarcastically said.
Nan Tao looked at Gu's mother and clicked her tongue.
As always, I can't hide the jealousy in my eyes.
In the past, Gu's mother was as good as her mother, so Gu's mother was jealous to death. Now that Gu's mother is so much worse off than her mother, she is even more jealous.
Nan Tao turned and looked at her mother.
Nan Ma wore a light green cheongsam that wrapped around her body, highlighting her graceful curves. She wore a green jadeite around her neck, which made her look more elegant, dignified and graceful.
Looking up, Nan Ma has curved eyebrows and picturesque eyes. Even though she is fifty years old, her eyes are still bright and shining, with the simplicity and innocence of a girl. Although there are traces of time in the corners of her eyes, the happiness of life can be seen on her face.
Nan Tao sighed, "Mom looks so beautiful today."
Nan Ma said angrily, "I'm already so old."
Seeing that no one was talking to her, Mother Gu couldn't help but say sarcastically, "Over the years, your family's business has grown bigger and bigger, and now you're so arrogant that you don't even pay attention to your old friends."
Upon hearing this, Father Gu's expression changed. He scolded Mother Gu in a low voice, then looked at Father Nan and said with an apologetic smile, "I'm sorry. I'm used to the freedom I've been living abroad for these years. Don't mind it."
Mother Gu: "Old Gu, what do you mean?"
Father Gu was displeased, his brows full of impatience, and he ordered Gu Bai beside him: "Ah Bai, take your Uncle Nan, Aunt Nan and the rest of the family in and have them sit down first."
Gu Bai smiled and nodded and said ok, then walked to Nan Tao, with surprise flashing in his eyes, "I didn't expect you to come today."
Nan Tao got goosebumps all over her body and signaled Nan Bo with her eyes.
The tacit understanding between brother and sister over the years can be understood with just one glance.
Nan Bo smiled and told Nan Tao to take her parents and Xiaoze in first, while he would talk to Gu Bai. As for what he said, it was nothing more than superficial official rhetoric.
Gu Bai's face froze, and he could only watch Nan Tao walk further and further away. He had to stay and play Tai Chi with Nan Bo, the business fox.
After talking a lot of nonsense, Nan Bo slowly ended the topic, "I'm sorry to have wasted your time, just continue with your work." After that, he left leisurely.
Gu Bai stared at Nan Bo's back with a dark and gloomy look in his eyes, and his hands hanging by his side were slightly clenched.
Nan Bo has been a prodigy in his circle since he was young. He is no exception to the psychological shadows of other people's children and countless rich second-generations. In addition to being a good student with a high IQ, Nan Bo is also handsome. In contrast, when he was a child, he was ugly and fat, and was ridiculed and looked down upon by many people.
Later, the whole family moved abroad. He originally thought that he could get rid of Nanbo's shadow, but he didn't expect that Nanbo would go to study in Country M and once again become the mountain that he couldn't move away from his head, pressing him so hard that he couldn't breathe.
He tried his best, but was still not as good as Nan Bo.
In recent years, the Nan Group has grown larger and larger, while his Gu Group has been declining. It has had to retreat from abroad back to China like a defeated water dog, trying to use its previous connections and resources to make a comeback in China.
But since returning to China, the country has been undergoing tremendous changes and developments, and many things are different from those abroad. Gu Group's business has repeatedly run into obstacles. He has been servile to others like a dog in an effort to win business, but in return he has only heard others compliment and praise Nanbo's business genius.
What made Gu Bai even more resentful was that when he was a child, he often looked for Nan Tao to play with him, but was always blocked away by Nan Bo intentionally or unintentionally. Just like just now, Nan Bo was unwilling to let him have contact with Nan Tao.
When Gu Bai thought of Nan Tao, his throat became dry and he suppressed the viciousness in his eyes.
Wait a little longer, until he becomes strong, even if Nan Tao is married, I will still snatch her away to be his woman.
Thinking of the scene of Nan Tao being kept as his mistress in a golden house, Gu Bai chuckled.
He knew that Nan Tao didn't like him, but so what? As long as he had power and influence and could force the Nan Group into bankruptcy, Nan Tao would humble herself and beg him.
As for Nan Tao's husband, he had asked many times, but almost no one knew who he was. It seemed that it should not be Yu Zhengyang, otherwise there would be no news about the marriage between the Yu and Nan families.
As long as it's not Yu Zhengyang, not the Yu family...
"Abai, what are you still standing there for? Come over and greet the guests." Father Gu said dissatisfiedly.
Gu Bai withdrew his thoughts, a gentle smile on his lips, "Dad, I understand."
Gu's father said, "I just saw you talking to Nan Bo. How was your conversation? He's now the president of Nan Group and has taken over the entire company. He's quite business-minded. You should spend more time with him and try to get Nan's orders from him. This will be a great help to our Gu Company."
Gu Bai's eyes turned cold, and he lowered his eyes and said, "I understand."
Father Gu sighed, "It would be even better if we could establish a relationship with the Yu Group. I remember you played with the children of the Yu and Nan families when you were little, but how come you don't have any friendship with them at all?"
Gu Bai clenched his fingers and said nothing.
Gu's father continued to ramble on, "The current leader of the Yu Group is Yu Zhengyang. He's swift and decisive. Within a few years of taking over the group, he's expanded it to a global scale. He's a top business genius. If we could establish a relationship with the Yu family, even if they gave us some marginal business, it would be enough for our Gu family to gain a firm foothold in Hai City. What a pity..."
Look at the Pu family. They used to be worse than us. But since they got engaged to the daughter of the Yu family, their business has been growing bigger and bigger.
Son, you should spend more time with Nan Bo in the future. I heard that he and Yu Zhengyang have been friends for many years and have a special relationship. If we can use Nan Bo to connect with the Yu family, our Gu family will..."
Mother Gu was unhappy to hear this and interrupted Father Gu, "Our son is also a noble one, why would he rush to curry favor with others? As soon as our son returned to China, he was favored by the daughter of the Li family. He chases after our Ah Bai every day. With the Li family's support, what do we have to fear?"
Father Gu glared at him, "What do you know? You have long hair but little knowledge. I am a wise man. Do you know how many people are trying to curry favor with the Nan family now? If it weren't for the little relationship we had before, would we be able to invite the Nan family here?
As the host, you just mocked and ridiculed them, but they didn't care. If they had cared, would our Gu family have been in trouble?
The Li family is nothing, not to mention the Yu Group, even the Nan Group is not as good as it. Only the old man of the Li family is still alive. Once the old man dies, the Li family will sooner or later fall apart."
Mother Gu sneered, "What do you mean by calculative or not? How can the Nan family be so powerful? I think the Li family is very powerful. Haha, I don't understand, but you do. Do you think I don't know that you've always had a crush on her? It's a pity that she would rather marry a poor boy than look down on you."
Father Gu was like someone had stabbed him in the lungs, and he flew into a rage, "Shut up!"
Mother Gu laughed sarcastically and said, "Haha, you're angry out of shame."
Gu Bai watched the two people quarreling in front of him with an expressionless face, indifferent and not even trying to persuade them.
It was not until guests came again that the two of them calmed down and greeted the guests with fake smiles.
In the banquet hall, lights interlaced, people were toasting each other, and three or five people gathered in a group, chatting and laughing.
Nan Tao roughly counted and found that there were actually hundreds of people, and some were still on the way. It seemed that the Gu family had invited quite a few people this time.
Nan Tao asked Nan Bo curiously, "Brother, the Gu family invited so many people this time?"
Nan Bo laughed and said, "The Gu family has lost a lot of money in overseas investments over the years. This time, the family returned to China hoping to make a comeback. However, Gu Bai has no business acumen and is not very useful."
Nan Tao lowered her eyes in thought.
I also feel that Gu Bai's ability is definitely not as good as my brother's, but in the dream that night, Gu Bai was the male protagonist. At the beginning, the Gu family was inconspicuous, until later Lin Yirou stole the official seal of the Nan Group and gave an important document to Gu Bai, causing the Nan Group to face a crisis and the stock price plummeted. Gu Bai took the opportunity to acquire the Nan Group and became the famous President Gu in one fell swoop, and then lived happily with Lin Yirou.
But that's not right either. Nan Group is in crisis, and Zheng Yang certainly can't just stand by and watch without helping.
Thinking back to the scene of her first nightmare, she was the vicious female supporting role, and her husband and son were both someone else's. In this way, without the Yu family's help to save the Nan family, the Nan family would indeed be on the verge of bankruptcy and be acquired by Gu Bai.
Thinking of this, Nan Tao felt a chill on her back. This was like a trap, one ring after another.
If she had not been a vicious female supporting role, had not pushed away her husband and son, and had not fallen out with the Yu family, the Yu family would not have sat idly by and watched the crisis of the Nan family. The reason why Lin Yiru was able to steal the official seal and important documents was because Sister Xiaoyao died, and her brother missed Sister Xiaoyao, so he was soft-hearted towards Lin Yiru again and again and relaxed his vigilance.
Nan Tao felt like there was a pair of big hands behind her, accurately sniping her and the people around her.
At this moment, Nan Tao felt somewhat fortunate, fortunate that she could suddenly hear her son's voice, and also fortunate that she could have some prophetic dreams and change the established trajectory.
"What are you thinking about?" Nan Bo asked with a smile.
Nan Tao said without thinking, "Brother, you will definitely be happy. Sister Xiaoyao will definitely be fine."
Nan Bo laughed and said, "Are you so sure that I can catch up with your sister Xiaoyao?"
Nan Tao clenched her fists: "Don't worry, I'm here."
Nan Bo thought of the assist Nan Tao had just given him, "Okay, my future happiness depends on you, my sister."
The brother and sister were playing around when they suddenly heard someone shouting, "Sister-in-law, Sister Taozi."
Yu Xue originally wanted to call her sister-in-law, but suddenly remembered that her brother and sister-in-law's wedding had not been announced to the public, so she couldn't tell anyone, so she changed her words temporarily.
Nan Tao looked at Yu Xue, "You're here too?"
Yu Xue took Park Moon Bin's arm and shook it. "I'm here as his female companion today."
Nan Tao looked at Park Wenbin in surprise.
The Park family and the Gu family have never had any contact with each other. They are two families that have nothing to do with each other, but one invited the other.
Park Wenbin greeted Nan's father, Nan's mother, Nan Bo and Nan Tao.
Yu Xuesong let go of Park Wenbin's arm, ran to Nan Tao like a happy little bird, and whispered, "Sister-in-law."
Park Wenbin said: "Xiaoxue, you and Sister Taozi chat here, I'll go over there and take a look."
Yu Xue waved her hand and said, "Go ahead."
Nan Tao asked in a low voice: "What's wrong? You look so excited."
Yu Xue looked around and said excitedly in a low voice, "Sister-in-law, I just accidentally ate a big melon. Can you guess what it is?"
